Yo!popgun Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 A couple of months ago my pipe broke due to being kinked. I got another pipe from a local shop but it is a lot thicker. The problem is that when I try to recharge the bottle on my BSA S10 it only gets to about 100 Bar. Then the gauge drops when you lift the pump and then increases when you push down...but then the gauge drops again when you lift again! All in all never getting above 100 Bar. The bloke from the shop was completely uninterested when I rang to complain, saying that the pipe was correct for the job. I don't think it will go down well on here if I named the shop due to lible actions. The original pipe was about 5mm O/D, this pipe is about 13mm. I could not find a website for RWS...is it possible to buy new pipes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shootist Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 The pipe shouldn't make any odds .. I have both the thin 5 mm'ish ones and the thicker type... More likely something amiss in the pump .. blocked.. filter gunged...leaking... or something... Regards Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo!popgun Posted November 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 With no pipe on the pump it does have a bit of resistance and also some 'lag'. By that I mean when you push the handle down it does not vent straight away. You have got me thinking now! I'm off to me shed to get some tools and strip it.

Gabe Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hi, sorry to bother you, I know its a long time since this thread was open, I have the same problem as you had with your RWS stirrup pump. I don't suppose you can remember how you resolved it in the end??? Regards Nathan (Gabe) Angell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
